Signal Mountain
An isolated small mountain in the middle of the valley, with a viewpoint you can reach by car. From the top, you get a 360-degree panorama of Jackson Lake, the entire Teton Range and the Jackson Hole valley.
Signal Mountain stands at an elevation of about 2,350 meters, roughly 300 meters above the valley floor. A narrow, winding road of about 8 kilometers (trailers and RVs prohibited) leads to the Jackson Overlook and the Jackson Lake Dam Overlook near the summit. The former looks down over the entire Jackson Hole valley and the Snake River, while the latter faces Jackson Lake and Mount Moran. At the foot of the mountain are the Signal Mountain Lodge, a marina and restaurants. Free admission, and the views are best at sunset.
